The occurrence and maintenance of Leptospira Leptospira serovars Australis serovars Australis and Bratislava in domestic and wild animals in Croatia and Bratislava in domestic and wild animals in Croatia

Over a 10-year period, from 2002 to 2011, 20,157 sera samples and 984 kidneys of wild and domestic Over a 10-year period, from 2002 to 2011, 20,157 sera samples and 984 kidneys of wild and domestic animals were collected and tested for leptospirosis at the Laboratory for Leptospirosis of the Veterinary Faculty, animals were collected and tested for leptospirosis at the Laboratory for Leptospirosis of the Veterinary Faculty, University of Zagreb. Out of 19,732 sera samples of horses, 3876 (19.64%) had agglutinating antibodies against University of Zagreb. Out of 19,732 sera samples of horses, 3876 (19.64%) had agglutinating antibodies against one or more one or more Leptospira Leptospira serovars. The highest seroprevalence in horses was found for the following serovars: serovars. The highest seroprevalence in horses was found for the following serovars: sv Bratislava, sv Pomona and sv Australis. In wild boars, out of 215 samples 75 (34.88%) were positive and the sv Bratislava, sv Pomona and sv Australis. In wild boars, out of 215 samples 75 (34.88%) were positive and the most prevalent serovars were sv Australis, sv Grippotyphosa and sv Tarassovi. Out of 170 pig sera we found most prevalent serovars were sv Australis, sv Grippotyphosa and sv Tarassovi. Out of 170 pig sera we found 66 (38.82%) positive animals. The most prevalent serovars were sv Australis, sv Ballum and sv Saxkoebing. 66 (38.82%) positive animals. The most prevalent serovars were sv Australis, sv Ballum and sv Saxkoebing. In red foxes, out of 59 sera samples 34 (57.60%) were positive for leptospirosis. We found the highest titre for In red foxes, out of 59 sera samples 34 (57.60%) were positive for leptospirosis. We found the highest titre for sv Australis, sv Sejroe, sv Saxkoebing and sv Grippotyphosa. Out of 151 sera samples of dogs, 26 (17.22%) sv Australis, sv Sejroe, sv Saxkoebing and sv Grippotyphosa. Out of 151 sera samples of dogs, 26 (17.22%) had antibodies for had antibodies for Leptospira Leptospira serovars. The highest seroprevalence was for sv Pomona, sv Grippotyphosa, sv serovars. The highest seroprevalence was for sv Pomona, sv Grippotyphosa, sv Australis and sv Icterohaemorrhagiae. Out of 262 kidney samples taken from the yellow-necked fi eld mouse Australis and sv Icterohaemorrhagiae. Out of 262 kidney samples taken from the yellow-necked fi eld mouse (Apodemus Apodemus fl avicollis fl avicollis)Leptospirae Leptospirae were isolated from 32 (12.21%) samples including 13 (40.63%) isolates of were isolated from 32 (12.21%) samples including 13 (40.63%) isolates of L. interrogans L. interrogans, serogorup Australis, sv Bratislava; fi ve (15.62%) isolates of , serogorup Australis, sv Bratislava; fi ve (15.62%) isolates of L. borgpeterseni
